Safely Handling Plastic Drums with Morse Equipment

Handling 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic drums can be more challenging than steel drums. Their smooth surfaces, lack of ribs, and slippery materials make them harder to grip, increasing the risk of workplace accidents. Add hazardous or high-value contents to the mix, and the stakes become even higher.

At Morse Manufacturing, we understand the challenges of working with plastic drums. That’s why we’ve designed solutions to help you safely and efficiently handle these tricky containers.

The Challenges of Plastic Drums

Unlike steel drums, plastic drums often:

• Lack structural ribs, making them harder to grip securely.
• Sometimes don’t even have a top rim, further complicating handling.
• Are slippery, especially in wet or oily conditions.
• Contain hazardous or high-value materials, increasing the importance of safe handling.
